Hello everyone,
I installed the BMR CB010 lockout kit and CB762 braces last weekend. I had also purchased the SCB766 to put in while I had everything apart. The sleeves slid right in to the front holes for the cradle bolts but I could not get the rears in to save my life. I used grease, more grease, tried to use the supplied bolt but couldn't get the threads started because the sleeve wasn't even attempting to go in (beveled side first). I couldn't easily take a picture but eyeballing it, it really didn't look like it was going to fit. I tried all 4 sleeves in both rear holes and none fit.
I checked and all the sleeves appear to be the exact same size. I didn't want to only leave the fronts in as I wasn't sure if that would cause issues not having the rears.
Has anyone else had this issue where the centering sleeves only appear to fit the front locations and not the rear? I don't plan on any more IRS mods at this time so I guess it's not a huge deal as long as the alignment I am getting today checks out. Test drive of the car didn't show any issues or signs of misalignment but I will know more later today.
I'm frustrated that I wasn't able to get those installed where they should have been the easiest part of the job.
